Baptism!

So we had a great week! We had a baptism for Narleen Ekeik her story was that she used to meet with missionaries a long time ago but for some reason she just never saw them. A couple weeks ago she was picking bread fruit at someones home and it just so happened the missionaries from Kaneohe showed up and started to talk to her! She was so excited to start to be taught again. Since she has been taught, she has had so many tragic things happen to her and her family.. she has had 4 of her family members pass away in just over a month. But she knew if she relied on the Lord, He would help her out of the wilderness she was in.  

13 And will also be your light in the wilderness; and will prepare the way before you, 
if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised landand ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led. 1 Nephi 17:13

She had so much faith going through these trials. She always told us the she prays and asks the Lord for council every day. We also promised her about eternal families, and how she can see her loved ones again. The spirit was very strong. She is going to be an awesome member of the church! Now we're working with her husband!

Also this week we set 6 people with a baptismal date. So we're very excited to be working with them and help them on their journey to baptism! But I love you guys and I'll try to send pictures as soon as possible.
